I'm running into the same issue with my users. They are reporting extremely high values for the activityCalories field.

My own Fitbit account is reporting 15,000 to 30,000 calories range by the end of a given day.

This seems to have started as of a few days ago.

Hi @jinboshen and @cgossain 

I believe this is a known issue and we are working on a fix.   Let me investigate it further with engineering.
